The US Fed and the ECB saved the banking and financial system from meltdown in 2008 and after, but just how successful and effective were they? Why was the US Fed quicker off the mark and why was the US economic recovery superior to the Eurozone? And in both countries, do we think a monetary response alone was sufficient? Did citizens in the real economy have to pay too high a price for the bankers’ crisis?

Has the time now come to make over-powerful central banks more accountable and responsive to federal democracies? Is central bank ‘independence’ still justified? Are the current policies of the Eurozone threatening the break-up of the EU?

It is sometimes claimed that the UK has to choose between European and global trading links. Germany has managed to be both the most successful large economy in Europe and at the same time a leading exporter to global markets. Our panellists will consider how Germany has managed to combine these two supposedly incompatible goals. In particular the trading models of Germany and China, one of German’s major markets, will be contrasted and compared.

At this seminar, our expert panel will discuss the implications of Donald Trump’s Presidency for Europe’s role in the wider world. Traditionally the EU, and particularly Germany, has seen Europe’s global role as being exercised in close collaboration with the US. Is such an attitude still desirable or even possible with the current US administration? Does Europe perhaps find itself today confronted by twin challenges to its West and to its East, from the US and Russia? If this is so, do these new challenges create opportunities as well as dangers?

Event Details

The Global Policy Institute and the Federal Trust cordially invite you to attend the launch of and a panel discussion on the late Stephen Haseler’s last book England Alone: Brexit and the Crisis of English Identity, which he completed shortly before his death in July.

The themes of England Alone as set out by Stephen Haseler are:

The Brexit referendum result represents the end product of a crisis of English identity and confidence that has been building for over a century as the UK lost its role as a world empire.

The Brexiteers live in a fantasy-land about our negotiating position and power in relation to the EU, and about the viability of a new ‘global role’. They have consistently overestimated the importance of the UK in the new global order.

Brexit – the final result of a century of this delusion of grandeur – will, as we leave the world’s largest Single Market, leave us much poorer. And, as separatism grows in Scotland and Northern Ireland, it will also de-stabilise the Westminster state itself, including the monarchy, as the UK breaks up.

So devastating was the EU referendum result that the existing Parliament, where there is an anti-Brexit majority, should, as an act of real as opposed to phoney patriotism, re-align the parties and reverse Brexit in order to stay in the EU. Behind these four themes are four critical issues that will be examined by the panel:

Behind these themes there are four critical issues that will be examined by the panel: Sovereignty, Citizenship, English Identity and English Futures.
